Chapter 7: Takashi Hatsuya.

Humans are always flawed, even if they are lucky enough to have extraordinary abilities (Quirks), they cannot hide the darkness that originates from themselves.

No matter what kind of world it is, what often frightens people more than ghosts and gods is the human heart.

As long as there is a world where humans exist, it cannot be avoided.

My name is Takashi Hatsuya, I am an ordinary middle school student, my ability is particle acceleration. Although it sounds cool, it's a Quirk without much use. Even if it's developed well, it can only go down the research path, so I hate my own Quirk.

In the early days, like usual, I walked home with Shinkun, who has been getting along well with me since the beginning of school. Just a short distance out of the school gate, Shinkun was suddenly pulled by someone. Looking back, the person was a notorious delinquent gang near the school. These few people, relying on the fact that they are minors, the police and heroes have not much to do without enough evidence.

"Yo, kid, can you come over?"

Among them, the leading figure who is tall and not easy to provoke, a delinquent gang leader with tattoos all over his arm, forcibly hugged Shinkun and pulled him step by step towards the alley opposite to the direction of home.

"I.....no!"

Shinkun, with his mouth covered, struggled constantly, giving me a look hinting me to tell the on-duty hero.

Before leaving, the delinquent gang leader and his subordinates threatened me with a glance. That was a fearful look I had never seen before. I was scared, and I, who was only fearful in my heart, fled here at an unprecedented speed.

From the textbooks, I have seen countless times how to deal with this situation but did not have enough courage to face their revenge. Takashi Hatsuya did not dare to contact the heroes or the police, and he felt very guilty for Shinkun.

The next day, Shinkun's face had a lot of bruises but he still sat next to me as usual, smiling and saying hello to me. Apart from the wounds, there seemed to be no trace of the nightmare that happened yesterday. What, isn't it just like me who is afraid of being retaliated against, did not report to the heroes and police, pretending to be indifferent.

"Shinkun, are you okay?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's just some skin trauma, it's not a big deal." Hearing him say this, I felt a little relieved in my heart. Next time I encounter a nightmare, I will definitely report to the heroes to punish them, I swear!

However, when I left school that day, the nightmare came as promised, and I was still the same me as before, without any change.

The third day, this time Shinkun did not go to school, I was very worried, but more worried about whether the nightmare would entangle me.

As a result, that night, the group of delinquents were still here.

"Big brother, it's none of my business, I'm not familiar with Okada Shinkun, I didn't see anything before, did I?"

"Money and other things are all my admiration for you, how about letting me go?"

"Little brother, you play with the big brothers for a while, it will be fine in a while, it's okay."

"When the big brothers are happy, you can go."

"Don't worry, it's very simple."

This group of people laughed and dragged me to the river embankment, then took off my clothes and tied me up, took all my money and wanted to throw stones at me. Looking at my fearful expression, they laughed very happily. I was very scared, so this is how Shinkun got hurt.

Just when the stones of those people were about to hit me, a heat wave swept over my face, and the high-speed dancing flame sword burned all the stones to ashes. I looked back and saw the No.2 hero Endeavor with a black face and Shinkun walking together, followed by a large group of police and heroes, they came to save me haha, it serves you right, delinquents, go to hell.

That Endeavor actually praised me for doing a good job and working hard haha, I can brag about this for a lifetime.

It turns out that Shinkun had notified the heroes as early as the first day, and the reason why he was not injured on the second day was also because he was protected by the heroes. But because the heroes did not have enough evidence to take them down, so I encountered this incident.

I'm very upset, why? Why do I have to encounter this kind of thing? Obviously, Shinkun and the heroes can solve it, why does it involve me? I didn't do anything wrong.

The fourth day

Shinkun, became a hero in the eyes of those around him.

And me, am I just a pitiful person who was saved? Or a victim of bullying? Why? If I had reported it, wouldn't it have been okay? I could have stood up too, isn't it ultimately the problem of those heroes? If they were more dedicated, kept a closer eye on those scum, didn't give them any chances, wouldn't everything be fine? It's really superficial.

I watched the joy on Shinkun's face surrounded by everyone, and the revelry of those bystanders, I understood, he was on that side, and I was on this side.

I could have done it too, why does he get to enjoy such glory?

Day Five.

Everyone started pointing at me, at first I was very strange, and Shinkun also inexplicably apologized to me, until I saw the follow-up news.

In the news interview, the No.2 hero Endeavor stood majestically, the background was the police supervising the bullies squatting down, the flames on his body were burning fiercely, his face was gloomy and he roared word by word.

"Listen to me! Bullies!"

"Self-righteous guys! It's not that no one is coming to clean up you, no one will give you any more chances!"

Then, Endeavor proposed in the TV interview to adjust the minimum age of responsibility and called for a comprehensive crackdown on campus bullying.

What a joke, he, The First Arrow of the Journey, actually appeared as a sacrifice of those unscrupulous media as a material being bullied and only gave him a thin mosaic, but what's the difference with nothing?

Now it's good, the whole world knows, they actually want to slander me as a coward, and also bullied by a group of garbage bullies, why? Garbage heroes are using me, right? I'm not a coward who was bullied! Damn it!

What did a good job, it's all fake, just to promote his so-called claim!

It's simply a conspiracy! It's just to use me, hypocritical heroes are shit, it's hateful, why don't I have power, if I have power, what are these broken things! When did I, The First Arrow of the Journey, ever suffer such an insult!

I will never admit that I have been bullied!

I hate Shinkun, he is clearly the one who trembles under the bullying of the delinquent group, and he went to find the heroes and seek protection, isn't it! Not me!

Those so-called heroes who are not enough to succeed, are also hateful!

Especially Endeavor! That kind of hypocritical hero is the culprit, what No.2 hero, what completed the most events, are all dog skins, only use people like me who are weak!

What kind of hero! Hypocrisy! Disgusting! I hate him, he ruined everything of mine! Everyone will think that I am a coward who was easily bullied by the delinquent group, I don't need your hypocritical protection, it's really disgusting.

I, have never been so eager to gain power, if my Quirk is strong, what are these people.

I never thought that I would get the power I dreamed of so quickly, I was indeed the chosen one.

Hypocritical heroes, tremble under my power!
