Worst-Class Hero

The trashiest of the trash, the lowest of the low. Without a second thought, he'd sacrifice others for his own safety. Without a single glance, he'd beat up others for his own gains... but then cower in front of another if they're stronger than him. Would you view someone like this as a hero? No, rather than a hero, he's more akin to a villain. Coupled along with his selfishness, his lack of a quirk further strengthens his worthlessness... Can a leech like him even bare the thoughts of saving others? Does a leech like him even believe in heroism?... This is the journey of a coward... He doesn't want to be the N. 1 Hero... But once polished, he'd damn well make a fine hero.

Prologue - Few Years Into The Future

"I guess the heroes only amount to this much~n! How boring."

Disappointed, the playful voice of a child rang across the ruined cityscape. Dancing with the voice, a shockwave rolled across the already broken city block.

The ground caved in while the buildings above it collapsed. The corpses of many people were thrown around like ragdolls, while the only things left were the tattered bodies of the dispatched heroes.

Many of them had their heads in the dirt, being no different from being dead. Few stood tall after resisting against that shockwave, but not long after, they fell with a thud and died as well.

"Crazy... This is seriously crazy..."

Not even having the power left to stand, one of the heroes slumped onto the ground.

"That kid— no, that monster..."

Just like her, the remaining heroes kneeled down at the same time.

"He seriously—"

Their eyes quivered, but they couldn't cry. Their muscles ached, but they still had to move.

One after another, the impossible kept happening over and over again.

A villain organization. The number one hero losing his abilities. Constant attacks.

Pro heroes? We're just fodder, aren't we?

But even if we're just fodder...

...

Mount Lady's lips trembled as she raised her head up towards the skies. An indescribable fear filled her eyes.

"He killed hundreds of us like ants..."

Mount Lady turned her head and shuddered involuntarily at the countless bodies littered around her. Just a few hours ago, she was fighting alongside these people...

'If only some stronger heroes were here... Then maybe this wouldn't hav—'

But before she could even finish her thoughts, a dull crunch resounded out as a finger pointed down at her from up above.

"Ah man, I really wanted to kill you~n! But I won't, you see? I'm too nice, right?"

Floating high in the sky, a purple haired kid probably no older than fifteen, extended his finger out towards Mount Lady.

Almost on instinct, she threw her hands behind her to crawl quickly to safety. 

If she died here, then there'd be no one left that'd recognize this monster. Even if the villain himself said that he wouldn't kill, their words can't be taken as fact.

'If even a tiny bit of info went out, then there might be hope!'

In a final act of heroism, she fought to survive. Her body ached all over in pain, but even then she had to live.

However, the second her hands touched the floor, she involuntarily let out a scream.

"A-AAAHh! OAAUAAAAh!"

She fell over backwards while her pained expression never left her face. Her mouth agape, tears formed near the edges of her eyes.

She lifted her hands and slowly looked at them, her mouth still open like a broken door. 

Although she could hardly see due to the tears pooling up... it looked as if every joint and bone below her wrist on both of her hands were horribly displaced and broken.

Her senses were incredibly dulled by the nerve-wracking fight that just happened. After finally realizing the state of her body... the pain heavily smashed her into the ground.

"Boou~. Is playtime already over~n? How disappointing."

Laughing to himself, the child floating in the air pulled his finger back. His long hair flowed perfectly in sync with the wind... no, it as if the wind followed his hair instead.

Stopping his laugh with a "Hm...", the long-haired boy looked throughout the city block, getting more and more disappointed.

'Sadly, it seems like the inheritor of All Might's power won't show up... Such a shame, you~n...'

Finding it a little funny, he scratched the back of his head.

"Can you believe that~n? Your hero won't come to save you."

Looking down, the child realized that everyone had already passed out. Now his happiness turned to slight annoyance.

"Hey, at least stay awake during my monologue~n!... So annoying..."

Pouting a little... a half-crescent smile slowly stretched across his face.

"What would a villain say, hm~n...? Right, right! 'How dare you pass out! I said I wouldn't kill you, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you!' "

As he lifted his arm up into the air...

"Or something like that~n. Don't blame me, alright? All the shows I watch end off like this, y'know~n?"

The wind started to gather. A vortex circled around his hand. It whirled like the screech of a dragon.

The broken rubble started to float, while the bodies straggled towards the winds. 

"Hmm? I should give it a attack name~n?"

There was no response from below. He was treating the dead heroes like dolls.

Like a storm of blades, streaks of the wind cut into the ground— leaving behind deep groves.

It expanded across the entire block. It was overwhelmingly massive. It resembled a dropping cloud. 

This cloud compressed.

It compressed and churned.

And it molded into a dragon.

If something like this dropped, not just the city block... the entire area, a small portion of the city.

It would be obliterated.

The boy's purple hair momentarily froze as he clenched his right hand before swiftly swinging it down.

"Gale-Over Heaven, Thunderous Mjölnir Hammer Of Complete Death! Reincarnation!"

Tipping over, the entire length of the dragon came shooting down towards the already broken block below.

With the rubble rising into the air, the bodies being swept, the intense rumbling of the ground and with the shriek of the winds... 

it resembled a heavenly spectacle.

As the dragon seemingly cut into the city, the resounding sounds of buildings crunching and crashing followed.

"Such a shame~n... those losers couldn't even give me a warm up."

Putting his arms behind his head, the kid kicked up his feet and relaxed. 

Once a bomb detonates, the "second explosion" always seems more satisfying than the first. 

All he had to do was wait for that satisfying second boom, and he can finally head back.

...

"...What's going o~n? Where's my second act?"

Sneaking a peek down below, he confirmed that the Gale-Over Heaven, Thunderous Mj... no wait, where did it go??

'A Quirk's manifested skill won't just disappear for no reason?? What happend—!'

"Renewal Taekwondo, Recoilless Kick."

The "second explosion" rushed by as a vacuum ate the surrounding winds.

The landscape stretched and distorted as space and time slowly became dis-configured. 

Like a fragile piece of glass, it all shattered into pieces due to the intense warping.

The dragon was devoured.

With all the rubble in the air disintegrating as well, the sky began to rumble.

The sky was starting to shake.

"W-What the hell—!"

With the winds gone, he was falling towards the ground. But before he could even let out a scream, an annoyed voice chimed in.

"Damn chuunibyou bastard. Do you still think you're in middle school? I'm about to go up there and shove this foot up your ass."
