Broken Pride and the Class Rep.

[Class 1-A]

[Kaito POV]

After a few minutes Kirishima and Midoriya came back to the class end everyone started to present themselves until it was my turn.

"What? Have something in my face?" I asked.

"No, no we just were kind of expecting for you to present yourself." Said Mineta.

"Well, my name is Kobayashi Kaito, I don't have a quirk but will become the strongest hero, nice to meet you." I spoke.

"Man, that attack was wicked I felt like dying!" Kirishima.

"Sorry I got too excited and wanted to test my attack."

"Now that I think about it, when you scanned the building, you used a technique right?" asked Tokoyami.

"Indeed, I did, Beast Breathing Seventh form: Spatial Awareness, I can sense disturbances through air and vibrations, it is quite handy if I say so myself."

"Seventh form? Are there others?" Asked Jiro.

"A whole lot of those my fancy eared friend, more than 10 sets of techniques with all of them having 10 or more different variations."

"How did you make so many?" asked Kaminari.

"Effort." I said with a deadpan expression.

"You know that is not what we mean, we…" Before Kaminari could continue Aizawa entered class.

"Shut up and sit down." Aizawa said in hit typical menacing way.

'Even faster than god-speed everyone sits down' I thought.

After that everything went back to normal and I wasn't bothered by the rest of the day.

After classes I went behind a tree near the entrance of UA and waited for Midoriya and Bakugo, I know I have to remain hidden to some extent but TBH I really needed Midoriya's trust it was shitty seeing him become a solo hero after abandoning UA, since basically being a person with no social life I now cherish all of my friendships.

After some time waiting Midoriya and Bakugo have their verbal face-off.

"Kacchan it's not what you think. I never lied to you!" Midoriya said from the distance to Bakugo.

"You think you are better than me just because you have a flashy quirk? Ah, Deku?" Bakugo replied furious.

"Was it fun tricking me all this time?!"

"Kacchan!"

"Huh?"

"It's a secret I didn't even tell my mom. But...There's one thing...I feel like I have to tell you. My Quirk...is something I received from someone else."

"Huh?"

"I can't say who I got it from, though! I won't say. But... it's like a story out of comic books, except it's true. On top of that, I still can't control it properly. It's just a borrowed power that I haven't made my own yet. That's why...I tried to beat you without using it.

"But in the end, I couldn't win and had to rely on it. I've still got a long way to go...That's why...That's why...! One day...I will make this Quirk my own...and beat you with my own power!" Midoriya tried to explain but then realized that he fucked up.

"What the hell is that? 'Borrowed power'? You're talking nonsense. What are you trying to do, make me out to be more of a fool than you already have?" Bakugo said annoyed.

"Huh? What are you trying to say?"

"Today, I lost to you...! That's all it was...! That's all! As I watched the ice guy...I thought, 'I can't beat him!', '...it is foolish to launch a large-scale attack indoors.' Damn it! I ended up agreeing with what that ponytail girl said! And Kaito, that bastard doesn't even have a quirk but he's already stronger than me! Damn it! Damn it, damn it!" Yelled Bakugo cursing everyone.

"Hey, you too, Deku! I'm just...! I'm just getting started! You hear?! Here, I will become number one! You won't beat me again, bastard!"

Suddenly Bakugo's train of curse stopped once a certain eccentric teacher came by.

"There he is! Young...Bakugo! Just so you know…...pride is important. You definitely have the abilities needed to become a pro. You still have a lot of—" All Might's sentence was cut off by Bakugo.

"Let go of me, All Might, I'll become a hero that surpasses even you without you telling me!" Said Bakugo as he walked away with teary eyes.

"Uh…he got over it? being a teacher is harder than I thought." Said All Might sighing.

"Young Midoriya! What were you talking about with young Bakugou?" Asked All Might back to his usual self.

"Um, we were, uh..." Midoriya said but I cut him off.

"He spilled the beans 'bout your little exchange" I said while scratching my back.

"K-K-K-Kaito-san!? Since when are you there!? How much did you hear!?" Midoriya panicked and All Might looked as if he was about to de-transform.

"Wait, wait, we should discuss this somewhere more private." I said sending a subtle gaze at Uraraka, Tsuyu and Mina that were trying to eavesdrop.

All Might noticed this and along with Midoriya and myself went to the teachers' lounge.

"So young Kobayashi, I believe it is imperative that you do not reveal this secret" said All Might in his skinny form.

"I know I'm not the idiot that practically yelled one of the greatest secrets in the history of heroism." I said making Midoriya to get red like a tomato.

"And answering your question, I was there waiting for Bakugo to try and cheer him up, but when I heard so much unbelievably BS, I decided to watch the drama unfold, and boy that was priceless."

"You are not mad about this? If All Might had offer you OFA first you would have even more power." Midoriya looked at me with a guilt expression.

I stood up and karate-chopped his head. "Look man, even if skinny here would've offered me OFA, I would've rejected him, my goal is to become the greatest hero WITHOUT a quirk so to do that of course I cannot have OFA."

My answer shocked both All Might and Midoriya.

"Well goodbye I have to prepare for tomorrow, Midoriya this is now YOUR power so do not feel like you are not worthy, embrace it as your own and become the hero you want to be."

I left the room, 'so fucking cringy' I thought, to be honest I just want to help Midoriya's low self-esteem but I cannot handle this much cringe, eating a thousand lemons must be better. I have the feeling of being a Hypocrite, have I said shit like that before, oh man how much cringe have I gathered' I thought massaging my temples.

Now at home I was waiting for the next day, the one I knew it would have reporters.

[Third person POV]

Kaito went to school as always but today he was wearing some black gloves.

When he was reaching UA, he saw the pile of reporters and thought 'what a drag' but proceeded forward.

"Excuse me, could you speak about the classes you receive?" "What's like to have All Might as a teacher?" "What do you think of the hero course?" those were examples of the questions that were bombarded at Kaito.

"Excuse me!" A rigid loud voice was heard making everyone to remain silent, it appeared to be a quirk.

"Are you perhaps the rumored student that doesn't have a quirk?" asked the mysterious person.

"Yes, I am!" Kaito yelled proudly.

"Humph. What does a quirkless scum should feel proud about! Die!" the mysterious figure took out a gun and aimed at Kaito who had a very relaxed expression, as if he already saw this coming.

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

Three shots were heard and bullets flew towards Kaito, Aizawa rushed to try and stop it but realized it was unnecessary so went towards the figure.

As fast as he could, Kaito moved his arm and grabbed the bullets with his left hand which was protected by the glove.

The figure was shocked and two more appeared to bail, Aizawa reached and capture two of them with his scarf but the other took out a bomb and threw it at Kaito, the bomb had a 10 second timer so Kaito had to protect the reporters who were dumb enough to remain there despite the initial gunshots.

Kaito took out Demon-Slayer and battered the bomb upwards, then he rushed towards the 3rd figure took out Demon-Dweller and strike.

"Dark Breathing Second form: Demon-Slayer and Demon-Dweller: Blade Flat."

From both sides the flat part of the blades connected the head of the figure leaving him with a concussion. The figure was not done and tried to strike Kaito with some needles but he countered.

"Dark Breathing Third Form: Demon-Slayer and Demon-Dweller: Rotation" Kaito spins both of his swords and he himself rotates deflecting every needle, and when he felt that there were no more needles he leaps forward while rotating smacking the figure.

"How? You are a quirkless scum." Said the figure looking at Kaito in disbelieve.

Kaito stored his swords and spoke. "And what would that make of you, the one who got defeated by said scum, I don't know what your beef is with me but if I'm scum, then you are trash. I don't even fell hatred for close-minded people as yourself, all it causes me is pity." Kaito said while entering UA and the rest of the staff took the quirkist group.

[Class 1-A]

In the class everyone surrounded Kaito.

"Hey are you ok?" Asked Hagakure.

"I'm fine, they were not even worth as a morning stretch." Kaito replied.

"Man, people discriminate for everything these days, huh?" said Jiro.

"Humans are like that, sometimes they have such a shitty life that they have to take it out on those they deem as inferiors." Said Kaito.

"Ah! I remember now!" yelled Mina startling everyone.

"You are the kid from that talent show 10 years ago!" she said.

Some were wondering about what she said but then Mina took out her phone and played a video. It was Kaito dressed as Yakko Warner and was singing Yakko's world.

"Ah! it's him, the same kid that sang the countries while the scenario was falling!" Kirishima. "That was manly as heck."

"Originally I wanted to cut the stage in half but my mom confiscated the swords I had prepared so in return I told her to give me said costume." Kaito said a little embarrassed.

"Why did you kept singing?" asked Tsuyu.

"Well, the first prize was a free trip to I-ISLAND so I guessed I had to go all out to win, you know in case any judge was a quirkist." Said Kaito adverting his gaze from Tsuyu not looking at her at all but everyone thought he was ashamed about the video.

"True, but still…" Tsuyu was interrupted by Aizawa entering the room, just that this time everyone went to their desks without Aizawa having to tell them anything.

"Good, your reaction time is better, now unto the subject, of today's orientation…." Started saying Aizawa.

'Is it a surprise test' thought everyone except Kaito.

"….we will select the class representative." Concluded Aizawa.

"A normal school activity!" yelled most of the class.

Everyone was yelling that they wanted to be elected until Iida spoke.

"Silence, please! It is a job with the serious responsibility of leading others! It is not a job for just anyone who wants to do it! It is a calling that requires the trust of those around you! If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader...then we should hold an election to choose one!" Said Iida with his hand raised.

"We haven't known each other for that long, so how can we have trust or anything? If that's the case, and everyone votes for themselves..." was saying Momo until she was cut off by Iida.

"Don't you think that is precisely why whoever receives multiple votes here can be truly considered the most suitable person?! What do you think, sensei?"

"I don't care as long as you decide before homeroom is over." Said Aizawa entering his sleeping bag.

Kaito voted for Iida since he knows that he doesn't gets a single vote so he felt bad for him, Kaito didn't had any feelings towards being the class rep, it would be a hassle either from handling the extra work or from Iida's stiffness.

The voting was over and these were the results.

1. Kobayashi Kaito-13 votes.

2. Izuku Midoriya-3 votes.

3. Yaororozu Momo-2 votes.

4. Tenya Iida-1 vote.

5. Katsuki Bakugo-1 vote.

"Huh? Why me? What did I do to deserve such hassle?" Kaito asked shocked, he expected someone to vote for him but not that many people, this was not within his expectations.

"Well, you seem to be one of the strongest, smartest, more comprehensive, more inclusive and kinder than anyone else so you were chosen for that." Answered Tsuyu.

"What do you mean by that?" Kaito asked confused because he doesn't recall to do anything nice.

"Well for starters each time the cleaning staff cleans the cafeteria you help them." Kaminari.

"You prevent Mineta from perving on the girls." Mina.

"You collaborate as much as you can in team assignments." Tokoyami.

"You care for others despite not knowing much about them, like when you visited the infirmary to see if I was ok." Kirishima.

"You give us tips of creative ways to use and train our quirks." Sato.

"Need we say more?" asked Shoji.

"Isn't all of that normal?" asked Kaito confused.

"See, that's another thing, I bet you didn't even knew about all of this." Hagakure.

"Well, when someone needs help, I help them as much as I can, what's so weird with that?" asked Kaito a little mad.

"It's because you do things with that mindset that people voted for you." Kaminari.

"Oh. That makes sense." Kaito smashed slowly his fist on his palm.

"Well since you voted for me, I guess I'll try my best at this."

Now it was lunch time.

Creation is hard, cheer me up!

Insomnia strikes again, fuck.

Next time in Reborn in My Hero Academia as a Demon Slayer: "USJ Part 1".

GOODNIGHT.
