MY HERO! DON'T CRY!

A little bit later

Bullet walked onto the stage, his black boots untied and his shirt ripped at the sleeves.

He didn't change because… he didn't have a set of clean ones!

He looked across the stage at Denki, who grinned, "This won't be like last time, you protecting me and all… I came up with a special move for you, Bullet!" Bullet tilted his head and Denki smirked, "Katsuki, Shoto, Fumikage, Eijiro, Izuku… The strongest guys in our class think you're their rival! But… I want to be strong too! I want to be included in that list!"

Denki spread his fingers and crossed his wrists over his head, shouting loudly "YOU READY, MY QUIRKLESS RIVAL?! I SUPERCHARGED MYSELF BEFORE THIS FIGHT!"

Everyone went silent before exploding "He's Quirkless?!"

Bullet put on his mask and slid his foot, spreading his arms as he said "Come on. Battery man." Denki grinned and clenched his fists "PUNK CLOAK!" His body exploded with lightning in an instant!

Golden lightning covered all over him as he groaned "Ohhhhh yeaaaaaaaah!" lightning wisped off him and he flickered before a boom sounded!

Bullet was shocked as Denki appeared in front of him instantly, kicking out, shooting through the air!

Midnight was shocked and Denki laughed, "Ochako's not the only one who read Midoriya's books!" Bullet crossed his arms and Denki kicked on them!

Bullet trembled as he slid back quickly! Denki landed on the ground and shouted "Lightning spear!" as he stomped out with both legs!

Bullet grit his teeth and grabbed Denki's legs, electricity crackling all over him, making his muscles spasm!

Bullet groaned and smoke came off his body as he took a step forward! Denki was shocked and said "How?!" Bullet laughed painfully, "Hah! Pain. Mean. ALIVE!" as he lifted Denki and threw him in the air!

Bullet jumped up and tackled Denki in mid air, wrapping his arms around his legs before shooting down to the ground and smashing into the concrete!

Denki's eyes widened and he coughed up blood!

Bullet lifted his shirt, twitching as he punched him in the face! Denki was dazed and he cursed "Damn! Guess Plan B! E.M.PUNK!" The electricity on Denki boiled before exploding as Bullet widened his eyes, throwing Denki into the air in an instant!

A massive golden lightball exploded in midair and crushed down on the stage, shattering it!

Bullet crossed his arms over his head as Denki fell from the sky, saying "Hehe~ Yay!" Bullet was smoking as the dust cleared, slowly reaching his arm out and catching Denki before he hit the ground.

Bullet turned his head and headbutt Denki, knocking him out before dropping him down, his arms covered in electrical burns and smoking.

His shirt was now sleeveless and charred on all the edges as he exhaled smoke through his mask.

Midnight ran over and checked on Denki before shouting "KAMINARI IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE! BULLET WINS!" Before looking at Bullet with shock! Denki's electricity voltage is extremely high! How much pain was he able to bear?!

Bullet raised a thumb and took off his mask, letting out a breath, saying "NO FEAR!"

Bullet's fangirl raised her thumbs screaming "NO FEAR!"

Knuckleduster grinned and snorted "1 Million Volts, not bad kid!"

All-Might smiled and transformed in an instant, shouting in English, "OH… MY… GOODNESS!" with a big grin! The teachers looked at him with twitching lips.

Midnight brought Denki to the Nurse as Bullet walked off the stage by himself, his arms hanging by his body. The stadium was silent, only a few people cheered, the rest looked at him and whispered "Gross. A Quirkless guy? At UA of all places… I can't believe it… They allowed him in? Seems like UA is going downhill…"

The pretty lady reporter squealed "A BIG SCOOP! Let's sneak an interview! That kid likes me! It'll be fine!" as she ran away with her crew.

Bullet looked up at Mei, Shoto, and Momo waving a thumbs up, looking tired.

It was tiring business getting electrocuted for so long.

He walked into the hallways and was suddenly assaulted by the pretty lady reporter, saying excitedly "Are you Quirkless?!" Bullet looked for his card before sighing, he gestured "Not good. Talk. Speak. Short. Please." looking a bit down.

The pretty lady tilted her head before nodding and asking again "You. Quirkless?" turning back and saying "Add subtitles on screen please!" Bullet looked at her and let out a breath, holding his arm as he smiled kindly, "Mhm!"

The pretty reporter continued asking "How feel, Quirkless?" Bullet tilted his head and thought about it before smiling "Sometimes, sad. Feel different but… Still want Hero." The pretty reporter asked with intense curiosity, "Why? Not police better? No Quirk, dangerous!"

Bullet sighed through his nose, smiling kindly, "Bullet life, real bad before. See Hero everyday! Save people, make smile." Bullet looked to be struggling as he said forcefully, "Bullet want to make people smile!" he let out a breath and continued "Lot of people hate Bullet, that okay. Bullet still save because- Because… That's what Hero do!"

He seemed relieved and smiled gently, "Don't need thanks, or grateful. Pain, yes. Fear, mhm! But, even die is okay! As long as save one more. Every time, one more and one more… Understand?"

Bullet looked at her rough face and sighed, "Sorry. Not good at words. Learning. Hah…" he smiled happily with crescent eyes, as happy as can be. The pretty reporter was speechless, this kid… She held back and asked "Not scared… die?"

Bullet laughed and smiled kindly "Bullet save people because what Bullet should do. Scared of die, yes!" as he nodded, maintaining his kind smile, "But no Quirk die, no Quirk live… No different. Bullet die for anyone, worth it."

The pretty lady reporter turned to the camera and said quickly "That's it for our interview! Thanks." before glaring at the camera guy!

She turned around and hugged Bullet, crying "Bullet very brave!" Bullet was stunned and smiled, patting her back, "Thank you. Support very nice." The pretty lady wiped her eyes and smiled at him, "I hope you become a great Hero, Bullet." Bullet paused and looked at her smiling face, his eyes watering as they sparkled, his lips quivered into a smile and he cried, "Thank you!"

He sobbed and smiled, "Thank… Mean… A lot to Bullet." as he looked down, wiping his eyes and sniffling. The pretty reporter lady burst into tears and hugged him, crying as well.

The cameraman had a keen sense for good news and had been shooting with his phone since the lady reporter told him her hopes.

He caught everything on camera, unbeknownst to the pretty reporter.

He whistled to himself and posted it on Twitter, saying "True face of the Quirkless hero, Bullet!"

In the crowd, how could Bullet's number one fan miss this?! She had been following that Pretty reporter since she interviewed Bullet that one time!

She saw the video and her eyes sparkled, tearing up as she covered her mouth, retweeting it, "MY HERO! DON'T CRY!"

As a #1 fan of Bullet, she had to have many followers.

All her friends saw it and retweeted as well.

The girl, her name is Akari by the way, instantly gained hundreds of followers and it was still climbing!

Meanwhile

Bullet left the reporter after thanking her again, walking down the hall.

He leaned his back on the wall, out of sight.

He slid down and held his arms, crying to himself with a big shaky smile on his face as he looked at the ceiling, gratified!
